The World Health Organization(WHO) has successfully established an operational medical supply chain to serve the most vulnerable and disadvantaged populations in Somalia. Despite the country's extreme drought and food insecurity, WHO has airlifted, transported, and stocked over 1,400 tonnes of medical commodities worth around US$5 million to provide essential health and nutrition care. Basic health care and patient consultations have been provided to approximately 3.6 million people in marginalized communities, while 3.5 million children under the age of five have been protected from diseases such as polio, measles, cholera, and malnutrition.
